TUMMY TUCK OR ABDOMINOPLASTY IN LUDHIANA,PUNJAB

Every woman has a dream to have a beautifully maintained figure. But in this hectic and unbalanced lifestyle, it is very difficult to manage the shape of the body. Most of the times you have to avoid your favorite dress or sometimes you hesitate to attend the parties just because of your anatomy.

Managing figure is not an easy task. Massive weight loss, muscle weakness, numerous pregnancies or genetics are some of the major reasons which can lead to loose, wrinkled abdominal skin and surplus fat in the lower abdomen. Sometimes regular exercise and special diet plan fail to work for this particular part of the body.

Abdominoplasty is a great procedure for patients who despite having reached the ideal body weight are troubled by the loose, excess skin, with stretch marks and laxity of the abdominal wall which may be due to pregnancy, massive weight loss, etc. The procedure tightens the excess skin, tightens the muscle thereby giving a flatter contour to the abdomen.
However, patients with abdominal fullness primarily due to intra abdominal fat will not be good candidates for abdominoplasty and will be asked to work on their diet and exercise.

If your daily routine efforts failed to transform your shape then the best option would be to go for TUMMY TUCK (Abdominoplasty).

The procedure is tailored to the individual need. It is determined by accurate analysis of the underlying muscle layer, fatty deposits and skin condition. The procedure may vary from a mini to full abdominoplasty with or without liposuction.

Depending on the requirement, it is broadly of three types:

MINIABDOMINOPLASTY(SHORT SCAR TECHNIQUE):

In this procedure, smaller incision is given over the pubic area to remove the extra fat from the lower portion of the abdomen after stretching the skin downwards.

EXTENDED ABDOMINOPLASTY ( LIPOABDOMINOPLASTY):

In this process, an incision is given from hip to hip, just top of the pubic area. Then a cut is made to release the navel portion from the covered skin, belly button repositioned and skin redraped.

CIRCUMFERENTIAL ABDOMINOPLASTY:

In this, the incision goes around the trunk, allowing maximal soft tissue removal from abdomen, flanks, back and hips.

PREPARATION:

The procedure starts with a mandatory preoperative consultation with a well trained plastic surgeon. The surgeon assesses the patient’s goals, overall health status and achievable outcomes. The past and present medical history, past surgeries, etc are noted. The possible risks and complications are explained.

The patient is advised to quit smoking as it has a negative impact on healing and blood flow.

The patient is given a list of medications to avoid like aspirin, anti inflammatory drugs, etc as they promote bleeding.
